Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
417 AM EDT Mon Oct 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Periods of gusty winds to around 20 knots continue to be possibility,
with the evening and overnight hours north of Englewood seeing
the highest potential risk for stronger winds. The risk is also
higher offshore as opposed to nearshore. Mariners should continue
to use caution in these waters. Additionally, thunderstorms are
forecast this afternoon over land and will move offshore late in
the day, leading to locally hazardous conditions in the vicinity.
A similar pattern will repeat each day through the work week.
